This research was designed to investigate the influence of dietary fat and cholesterol on the excretions of neutral steroids and bile acids of rats. Experimental groups were divided into 6 groups according to the dietary treatment. A $3{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments included 3 levels of dietary fat(15, 30 or 45% energy) and 2 levels of dietary fat saturation(0.5 or 1.0n P/S ratio). After 4 weeks feeding, fecal excretions of total lipids, neutral steroids and bile acids were determined. The following results were obtained. Body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were singnificantly influenced by dietary fat level. Lipid digestibility was significantly increased in proportion to the level of dietary fat. However, no effect has been found in fecal secretions of total lipids, neutral steroids and bile acids by the differences of dietary fat levels and P/S ratios. The consumption of dietary cholesterol improved body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and lipid digestibility, but decreased total lipids excretion. And also, neutral steroids excretion showed tendency of increase with decreasing the fraction of coprostanol and increasing that of coprostanone, and total bile acids showed tendency of decrease by the consumption of dietary cholesterol.

We have investigated the intestinal functions and hypolipidemic effects of resistant starch (RS) in rats. Experimental groups were CON (cooked starch 45% + RS 7%), RSIO (cooked starch 35% +RS 10%), RS20 (cooked starch 25%+RS20%), and RS30 (cooked starch 15%+RS 30%). The weight gains during experimental period were slightly decreased by intake of resistant starch and the weights of epididymal fat pad were lower in resistant starch intake groups than in CON, although the difference was not significant. In intestinal functions, water contents of fecal, transit time and colon cell proliferation were affected by resistant starch. Plasma total lipid and triglyceride concentrations were significantly decreased, dose-dependently, by resistant starch intake. Conclusively, it is important to intake resistant starch in order to decrease plasma lipids and to improve intestinal functions.

The present study was carried out to summarize the effect of garlic in the hyperlipidemia rats by meta-analysis related studies. The association measure to test effect of garlic was the mean difference (MD). In this particular fixed-effect model of mean difference, body weight, liver weight, kidney weight and heart weight were significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Also, blood glucose, plasma total cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, liver cholesterol, liver triglycerides were significantly decreased. HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased. In this case of heterogeneous variable, random effect model was applied. In this model, liver weight, blood glucose, plasma total cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, liver cholesterol, liver triglycerides were significantly decreased. HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased. According to the meta-regression analysis, duration of injection was significantly for kidney weight, testis weight, plasma total cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDLcholesterol, liver cholesterol, liver triglycerides.

We demonstrated that Acanthopanax senticosus fermentation products (FM-5111 and FM-5131) administered to rats functionally protect against DL-ethionine-induced and ethanol-induced fatty liver models. In DL-ethionine-induced fatty liver models, the serum concentrations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as liver concentrations of triglyceride and total lipid against the control decreased in FM-5111 and FM-5131 treated rats. In ethanol-induced fatty liver models, FM-5111 and FM-5131 treated rats showed a decrease in the liver concentrations of triglyceride and total lipid in ethanol-induced fatty liver models. There were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of AST and alanine aminotransferase in FM-5111 and FM-5131 treated rats. Additionally, FM-5111-, or FM-5131-treated rats showed no significant differences in the body weight gain between the control. These results indicate that Acanthopanax senticosus fermentation products might have protective effects against DL-ethionine-induced and ethanol-induced fatty liver models.

The present study was undertaken to determine the metabolic effect of various levels of fat in the diet. Forty males and the same number of females weighing $35{\pm}29$ were divided into three experimental groups and one control group, 10 rats each in both sexes. The dietary lipid contents were included in three levels, 2% as low, 30% as high and fat free diet in order to reflect the lipid consumption of present Korean diet. 20% sugar casein diet were employed as standard for control animals. This study was carried for 16 weeks. After these period animals were sacrificed to collect the internal organs and blood samples by heart puncture. In the result of this study, high fat diet group is lower than low fat diet group in the body weight gain, food efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, urinary nitrogen and organ nitrogen contents were same trend but there is no significant difference in these respects. It was noteworty that high, and free fat diet group revealed more glucose total protein, albumin and globulin contents in the serum than other compared groups. It can be concluded that fat content whether low or high are free in the diet did not show significant effect on body nitrogen metabolism. But 30% high fat diet increased the total lipid and total cholesterol contents in the liver and the serum. This fact can be interpreted that 2% low fat diet and fat free diet do not need to increase the amount of fat content in the diet as high as 30% fat diet. This result might indicate the one possible reason to decide the recommanded dietary fat levels in Korean diet.

Our previous study suggested that n-3 fatty acid deficiency was associated with significantly reduced spatial learning as assessed by Morris water maze test. Here we investigated an effect of n-3 fatty acid deficiency on rat brain, retina and serum fatty acyl compositions at 15 wks age using a first generational artificial rearing technique. Newborn Rat pups were separated on day 2 and assigned to two artificial rearing groups or a dam-reared control group. Pups were hand fed artificial milk via custom-designed nursing bottles containing either 0.02%(n-3 Deficient) or 3.1% (n-3 Adequate) of total fatty acids as a-linolenic acid(LNA). At day 21, rats were weaned to either n-3 deficient or n-3 adequate pelleted diets and fatty acid compositions of brain, retina and liver were analyzed at 15 wks age. Brain docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) was lower(58% and 61%, P<0.05) in n-3 deficient in comparison to n-3 adequate and dam-reared groups, receptively, while brain docosapentaenoic acid(DPAn-6) was increased in the n-3 deficient group. In retina and serum fatty acid compositions, the decreased precentage of DHA and increased precentage of DPAn-6 were observed. These results suggested that artificial rearing method can be used to produce n-3 fatty acid deficiency in the first generation and that adequate brain DHA levels are required for optimal brain function.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of high amylose corn starch consumption on plasma, liver and feces lipid profiles and immune responses in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Experimental animals were fed on diets containing the high amylose starch (HAS,0, 125, 250,500 g/kg diet) for 4 weeks. HAS intake did not affect on food intakes and food efficiency ratio. Final body weights were lowered in HA100 group than in control group. HAS intakes dose dependently increased the weights of cecum and excretion of feces per day, and decreased the pH of cecum contents. And HAS intakes significantly decreased the plasma total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. But there were not significant differences total lipid, triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in liver. The absolute and relative weights of thymus and spleen, plasma Is G and $C_3$ concentrations were unaffected by experimental diets. The splenocyte proliferations with low dose Con A (0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/10 $\mu$L) as lower in HA25 group and HA50 group than in control group. These results demonstrate that high amylose corn starch intakes significantly improve lipid profiles in plasma.

This study was conducted to obtain more detailed information on the characteristics of body fat distribution, genetic variation and correlation of fat amount at different location in broiler type chicken. A total of 429 offsprings, produced by mating 13 sires with 52 dams of WPR, were used for this study. All experimental analyses were made on dressed carcasses of 8 weeks of age. The average live body weight was 1,856g in male and 1,483g in female, the proportions of each part to live body weight were higher in male group except skin and abdominal fat pad. The total body fat was more in male (40.76g), but fat rate of total body, skin, and abdomen to live body weight were significantly higher in female group. The fat percentages in each body location were significantly higher in the fatty group and in each sex. The rates of abdominal fat to total body fat were increased by fattening, while subcutaneous fat percentages were lowered. There were high correlations between body weight and fat deposit in each location. The genetic correlation coefficients of body weight to fat percentages of skinned carcass, skin, abdomen, and total body fat to live body weight were negative in both sexes, but those to total body fat, eviscerated carcass fat, and skin fat were positive. In conclusion, the fat weight and fat percentage in individual chickens became higher by fattening however, genetic correlation between live body weight and percentages total body fat to live body weight were so low(negative) that decreasing body fat could be possible without decreasing body weight.

Effects of instant coffee on weight, plasma lipids, leptin levels, and fat cell size in high-fat diet-fed rats were investigated, Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats, fed experimental diet containing 40% total dietary fat and 0, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.4% (w/w) instant coffee for 6 weeks, were divided into four experimental groups (n = 6). Feed efficiency ratio of 0.6% coffee group was higher than control group. Weight gain, organ weights, free fatty acid level, and fat cell size were not significantly different among groups. Triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels in plasma were significantly higher in 0.6% coffee group than control group. No significant difference in feed efficiency ratio, triglyceride, and leptin levels were found between control and 2.4% coffee group. These results suggest instant coffee may not have effect on obesity.
